  • Containers of this type are used in a variety of applications for the storage and transport of objects. They have a bottom, which is usually rectangular or square, as well as from the bottom upwardly extending side walls. The side walls adjoin one another in pairs at the edges extending from the corners of the bottom, so that they enclose a container interior around which is bounded at the bottom by the base having a support surface.

  • the invention is based on the idea that the elastically flexible fibers on the one hand at least partially close the handle hole and thus at least complicate the penetration of dust or dirt.
  • the fibers hardly limit the handleability of the containers, since they do not need to be removed from the respective handle hole in a first operation, such as, for example, a flap covering the handle hole, so that it is only possible to intervene in the handle hole in the second operation. Rather, it is possible to intervene simply and without delay in bending the fibers into the respective grip hole by simply pushing the fibers aside by the user's hand. If the user's hand is pulled back out of the grip hole after use, the fibers return at least approximately to their original position covering the grip hole due to their elasticity, as a result of which there is again increased dust and dirt-tightness compared to known containers.

If the fibers extend as far as the second edge part, they lie with their free ends against the latter or, owing to manufacturing tolerances, are located at a very small distance therefrom.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Behälter gemäß Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a container according to the preamble of claim 1.

Behälter dieser Art werden in unterschiedlichsten Anwendungsbereichen zur Aufbewahrung und zum Transport von Gegenständen benutzt. Sie weisen einen Boden auf, der meist rechteckig oder quadratisch ist, sowie sich vom Boden aus nach oben erstreckende Seitenwände. Die Seitenwände grenzen an den von den Ecken des Bodens ausgehenden Kanten paarweise aneinander an, so dass sie einen Behälterinnenraum rings umschließen, der nach unten hin durch den eine Auflagefläche aufweisenden Boden begrenzt wird. Um das Eindringen von Schmutz und Staub in den Behälterinnenraum zu verhindern, kann auf die Wände ein Deckel aufgesetzt sein, oder es kann ein baugleicher Behälter auf den Behälter gestapelt werden, so dass dessen Boden den Deckel bildet. Zur besseren Handhabbarkeit ist in mindestens einer der Wände ein Griffloch angeordnet, durch das ein Benutzer durchgreifen kann, um den Behälter besser halten zu können. In der Regel sind bei Behältern mit rechteckigem Grundriß solche Grifflöcher in mindestens zwei einander gegenüberliegenden Wänden angeordnet, so dass der Behälter bequem von beiden Seiten ergriffen und hochgehoben werden kann.Containers of this type are used in a variety of applications for the storage and transport of objects. They have a bottom, which is usually rectangular or square, as well as from the bottom upwardly extending side walls. The side walls adjoin one another in pairs at the edges extending from the corners of the bottom, so that they enclose a container interior around which is bounded at the bottom by the base having a support surface. In order to prevent the ingress of dirt and dust in the container interior, a lid can be placed on the walls, or it can be a container of the same design are stacked on the container, so that its bottom forms the lid. For better handling, a grip hole is arranged in at least one of the walls through which a user can reach through in order to hold the container better. In general, in containers with a rectangular plan such finger holes are arranged in at least two opposing walls, so that the container can be easily grasped and lifted from both sides.

Solche Behälter sind aufgrund der Grifflöcher leicht handhabbar. Vor allem bei industriellen Anwendungen, bei denen die Behälter der Aufnahme von Stückgütern in staubiger oder auf andere Weise verschmutzter Atmosphäre dienen, kann gerade durch die Grifflöcher Staub oder Schmutz in den Behälterinnenraum eindringen und die aufgenommenen Stückgüter verschmutzen.Such containers are easy to handle due to the grip holes. Especially in industrial applications in which the containers are used to hold piece goods in a dusty or otherwise polluted atmosphere, dust or dirt can just penetrate into the container interior through the handle holes and contaminate the picked-up piece goods.

Es ist daher Aufgabe der Erfindung, einen Behälter der eingangs genannten Art derart weiterzubilden, dass der Behälterinnenraum besser gegen das Eindringen von Staub oder Schmutz geschützt ist.It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a container of the type mentioned in such a way that the container interior is better protected against the ingress of dust or dirt.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch einen Behälter mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der abhängigen Ansprüche.This object is achieved by a container with the features of claim 1. Advantageous developments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

Der Erfindung liegt der Gedanke zugrunde, dass die elastisch biegsamen Fasern zum einen das Griffloch zumindest teilweise verschließen und somit das Eindringen von Staub oder Schmutz zumindest erschweren. Zum anderen schränken die Fasern die Handhabbarkeit der Behälter kaum ein, da sie nicht aufwendig in einem ersten Arbeitsgang vom jeweiligen Griffloch entfernt werden müssen, wie beispielsweise eine das Griffloch überdeckende Klappe, so dass erst im zweiten Arbeitsgang in das Griffloch eingegriffen werden kann. Es ist vielmehr möglich, einfach und ohne Zeitverzögerung unter Verbiegung der Fasern in das jeweilige Griffloch einzugreifen, indem die Fasern durch die Hand des Benutzers einfach beiseitegeschoben bzw. -gebogen werden. Wird die Hand des Benutzers nach dem Gebrauch wieder aus dem Griffloch zurückgezogen, so kommen die Fasern aufgrund ihrer Elastizität wieder zumindest ungefähr in ihre ursprüngliche, das Griffloch abdeckende Position zurück, wodurch wieder eine gegenüber bekannten Behältern erhöhte Staub- und Schmutzdichtigkeit gegeben ist.The invention is based on the idea that the elastically flexible fibers on the one hand at least partially close the handle hole and thus at least complicate the penetration of dust or dirt. On the other hand, the fibers hardly limit the handleability of the containers, since they do not need to be removed from the respective handle hole in a first operation, such as, for example, a flap covering the handle hole, so that it is only possible to intervene in the handle hole in the second operation. Rather, it is possible to intervene simply and without delay in bending the fibers into the respective grip hole by simply pushing the fibers aside by the user's hand. If the user's hand is pulled back out of the grip hole after use, the fibers return at least approximately to their original position covering the grip hole due to their elasticity, as a result of which there is again increased dust and dirt-tightness compared to known containers.

Es ist möglich, dass die Fasern sich nicht ganz bis zum zweiten Randpartie erstrecken, sondern mit ihren freien Enden im Abstand zu dieser angeordnet sind. Dann bleibt ein schmaler Spalt frei, durch den noch ein eingeschränktes Eindringen von Staub oder Schmutz möglich ist. Es wird daher bevorzugt, dass sich die Fasern mindestens bis zur zweiten Randpartie und vorzugsweise ein Stück weit über diese hinaus erstrecken. Erstrecken sich die Fasern bis zur zweiten Randpartie, so liegen sie mit ihren freien Enden an dieser an oder befinden sich, aufgrund von Fertigungstoleranzen, in einem sehr geringen Abstand zu dieser. Erstrecken sich die Fasern ein Stück weit über die zweite Randpartie hinaus, so ragen ihre freien Enden ein Stück weit in das Behälterinnere hinein, und die Fasern liegen an einer Stelle an der zweiten Randpartie an, die ein Stück weit von ihrem freien Ende entfernt ist.It is possible that the fibers do not extend all the way to the second edge part, but are arranged with their free ends at a distance from the latter. Then a narrow gap remains free through which even a limited penetration of dust or dirt is possible. It is therefore preferred that the fibers extend at least to the second edge part and preferably a little way beyond this. If the fibers extend as far as the second edge part, they lie with their free ends against the latter or, owing to manufacturing tolerances, are located at a very small distance therefrom. If the fibers extend a little way beyond the second edge, their free ends protrude a little bit the container interior, and the fibers abut at a location on the second edge portion which is a distance from their free end.

Es ist sowohl möglich, die erste Randpartie über der zweiten Randpartie anzuordnen, also weiter vom Boden entfernt, als auch umgekehrt. Letztere Variante wird jedoch bevorzugt, da sich dann die Fasern von unten nach oben erstrecken und der Benutzer beim Eingreifen in das Griffloch und Anheben des Behälters nicht an den Fasern angreift, sondern an der zweiten Randpartie. Diese kann zweckmäßig eine Grifffläche aufweisen, um ein bequemes Tragen des Behälters zu ermöglichen.It is both possible to arrange the first edge part over the second edge part, ie farther from the bottom, and vice versa. However, the latter variant is preferred, since then the fibers extend from bottom to top and the user when engaging in the handle hole and lifting the container does not attack the fibers, but at the second edge portion. This may conveniently have a gripping surface to allow comfortable carrying of the container.

Es ist möglich, die Fasern direkt an der betreffenden Wand zu befestigen. Es wird jedoch bevorzugt, in jedes Griffloch ein Trägerteil einzusetzen und dieses mit der betreffenden Wand zu verbinden, wobei die Fasern jeweils am Trägerteil befestigt sind. In der Regel werden das Trägerteil und die Wände aus unterschiedlichen Materialien gefertigt, wobei eine einstückige Ausbildung des Trägerteils aus Kunststoff, beispielsweise aus Polypropylen, und hierbei insbesondere die Ausbildung als Spritzgußteil, bevorzugt wird. Die Wände können aus einem ganz anderen Material bestehen, beispielsweise bei Behältern, die nur geringen Belastungen ausgesetzt sind, aus Karton, oder aber aus Kunststoff oder Metall. Das Trägerteil und die Wände können dann separat voneinander hergestellt werden, und die Fasern können am Trägerteil befestigt werden, bevor dieses in das jeweilige Griffloch eingesetzt wird. Es ist aber auch möglich, Trägerteil und Behälter bei Verschleiß getrennt zu entsorgen oder aber das verschlissene Teil durch ein neues zu ersetzen.It is possible to attach the fibers directly to the wall in question. However, it is preferable to insert a support member into each grip hole and to connect it to the respective wall, the fibers being respectively attached to the support member. In general, the support member and the walls are made of different materials, wherein a one-piece design of the support member made of plastic, for example polypropylene, and in this case, in particular the formation of an injection molded part, is preferred. The walls can be made of a very different material, for example, in containers that are exposed to only low loads, made of cardboard, or of plastic or metal. The support member and the walls can then be made separately, and the fibers can be attached to the support member before it is inserted into the respective handle hole. But it is also possible to dispose of carrier part and container separately when worn or to replace the worn part with a new one.

Zweckmäßig kleidet das Trägerteil das betreffende Griffloch aus und bildet den die erste und die zweite Randpartie umfassenden Rand des Grifflochs. Zur stabilen Verbindung des Trägerteils mit der betreffenden Wand weist es zweckmäßig eine an der dem Behälterinnenraum zugewandten Wandinnenseite anliegende erste Anlageplatte und eine an der dem Behälterinnenraum abgewandten Wandaußenseite anliegende zweite Anlageplatte auf.Suitably, the carrier part dresses the relevant grip hole and forms the edge of the handle hole which surrounds the first and the second edge part. For stable connection of the support member with the relevant wall, it expediently has a wall inside facing the container interior adjacent first contact plate and on the side facing away from the container interior wall outer second contact plate.

Die Fasern können einzeln am Trägerteil bzw. an der jeweiligen Wand befestigt sein. Es wird jedoch bevorzugt, dass die Fasern mit ihren jeweiligen ersten Enden an einer gemeinsamen Halteleiste befestigt sind. Die Halteleiste kann dann in ein Führungsprofil des Trägerteils oder der Wand eingesetzt, insbesondere in das Führungsprofil eingeschoben werden. Dadurch wird der Fertigungsvorgang weiter vereinfacht. Insbesondere kann die Halteleiste ebenso wie die Fasern aus Kunststoff bestehen, so dass ein Fixieren der Faserenden in der Halteleiste durch Erwärmen und Verschmelzen der Kunststoffe erfolgen kann. Dabei wird bevorzugt, dass die Fasern aus Polyamid oder Polypropylen bestehen, während die Halteleiste aus Polyvinylchlorid besteht. Es ist jedoch auch möglich, dass die Fasern an der Halteleiste festgeklebt werden.The fibers can be fastened individually to the carrier part or to the respective wall. However, it is preferred that the fibers be secured with their respective first ends to a common retaining strip. The retaining strip can then be inserted into a guide profile of the carrier part or the wall, in particular inserted into the guide profile. This further simplifies the manufacturing process. In particular, the retaining strip as well as the fibers made of plastic, so that a fixing of the fiber ends in the retaining strip can be done by heating and melting of the plastics. It is preferred that the fibers are made of polyamide or polypropylene, while the retaining strip is made of polyvinyl chloride. However, it is also possible that the fibers are glued to the retaining strip.

Selbstverständlich wird bevorzugt, dass nicht nur ein mit den Fasern versehenes Griffloch vorhanden ist, sondern mindestens deren zwei, die vorzugsweise in einander gegenüberliegenden Wänden angeordnet sind. Eine weitere Verbesserung der Handhabbarkeit des Behälters ergibt sich, wenn alle Wände mit einem solchen, Fasern aufweisenden Griffloch versehen sind.Of course, it is preferred that not only is there a handle hole provided with the fibers, but at least two thereof, which are preferably arranged in mutually opposite walls. A further improvement in the handling of the container results when all the walls are provided with such a fiber-containing handle hole.

Der in Fig. 1 gezeigte Behälter 10 weist eine Boden 12 auf, der einerseits eine Auflagefläche für Gegenstände bildet, andererseits einen Behälterinnenraum 14, in dem die Gegenstände aufgenommen werden, nach unten begrenzt. Vom rechteckigen Boden 12 aus erstrecken sich vier Wände 16 nach oben, die paarweise aneinander angrenzen und miteinander verbunden sind und so den Behälterinnenraum 14 rings umschließen. In jeder der Wände 16 ist ein Griffloch 18 angeordnet, durch das ein Benutzer in den Behälterinnenraum 14 eingreifen kann, um den Behälter 10 zu ergreifen und insbesondere hochzuheben. Die Grifflöcher 18 sind einander jeweils exakt gegenüberliegend angeordnet. Der Behälter 10 weist zudem einen auf die Oberkanten der Wände 16 aufgesetzten, umlaufenden Stapelrand 20 auf, der mit einem Absatz 22 versehen ist. Auf den Absatz 22 kann ein baugleicher Behälter mit seinem Boden aufgesetzt werden, der dann einen Deckel des Behälters 10 bildet. Ebenso ist es auch möglich, einen separaten Deckel auf den Absatz 22 aufzusetzen, der den Behälterinnenraum 14 nach oben hin abschließt.The in Fig. 1 shown container 10 has a bottom 12, on the one hand forms a support surface for objects, on the other hand, a container interior 14, in which the objects are received, limited downwards. From the rectangular bottom 12, four walls 16 extend upwards, which adjoin one another in pairs and are connected to one another, thus enclosing the container interior 14. In each of the walls 16 a handle hole 18 is arranged, through which a user can engage in the container interior 14 to take the container 10 and in particular to lift. The grip holes 18 are each arranged exactly opposite each other. The container 10 also has an attached to the upper edges of the walls 16, circumferential stacking edge 20 which is provided with a shoulder 22. On the paragraph 22, a container of identical design can be placed with its bottom, which then forms a lid of the container 10. Likewise, it is also possible to place a separate cover on the shoulder 22, which closes the container interior 14 at the top.

In zwei der Grifflöcher 18 ist ein einstückig aus Kunststoff hergestelltes Trägerteil 24 eingesetzt, das einen umlaufenden Rand 26 aufweist und das Griffloch 18 vollständig auskleidet. Die Trägerteile (Fig. 2a, 2b) weisen zwei im Abstand parallel zueinander angeordnete Anlageplatten 28, 30 auf, von denen eine erste an der dem Behälterinnenraum 14 zugewandten Wandinnenseite und eine zweite an der dem Behälterinnenraum abgewandten Wandaußenseite anliegt. Die erste Anlageplatte 28 ist somit in einem Abstand zur zweiten Anlageplatte 30 angeordnet, der in etwa der Dicke der Wand 16 entspricht. Das Trägerteil 24 weist zudem eine in der Ebene der zweiten Anlageplatte 30 liegende Halterippe 32 auf, von deren Enden jeweils eine Querrippe 34 in Richtung zur ersten Anlageplatte 28 verläuft. Zwischen der ersten Anlageplatte 28, der Halterippe 32 und den Querrippen 34 ist eine nach unten stehende Zunge 36 der Wand 16 aufgenommen, so dass das Trägerteil 24 gegen Herausfallen und Verrutschen gesichert ist.In two of the handle holes 18, an integrally made of plastic carrier member 24 is used, which has a peripheral edge 26 and the handle hole 18 completely lines. The carrier parts ( Fig. 2a, 2b ) have two spaced parallel to each other arranged contact plates 28, 30, of which a first on the container interior 14 facing inner wall side and a second abuts against the container interior facing away from the wall outside. The first abutment plate 28 is thus arranged at a distance from the second abutment plate 30, which corresponds approximately to the thickness of the wall 16. The support member 24 also has a lying in the plane of the second abutment plate 30 retaining rib 32, from the ends of each a transverse rib 34 extends in the direction of the first abutment plate 28. Between the first abutment plate 28, the retaining rib 32 and the transverse ribs 34 is a downwardly received tongue 36 of the wall 16, so that the support member 24 is secured against falling out and slipping.

Jedes der Trägerteile 24 weist ein Führungsprofil 38 auf, in das eine als C-Profil ausgebildete Halteleiste 40 eingeschoben werden kann (Fig. 3a bis 3d). In die Halteleiste 40 sind aneinander anliegend die ersten Enden von elastisch biegsamen Kunststofffasern 42 eingefügt und durch Wärmebeaufschlagung mit der Halteleiste 40 verschmolzen. Die Fasern 42 stehen somit aneinander anliegend von einer unteren, größtenteils horizontal verlaufenden ersten Randpartie 44 des umlaufenden Rands 26 zu einer oberen, in einem Mittelabschnitt zur ersten Randpartie 44 parallel verlaufenden zweiten Randpartie 46 hoch und verschließen das jeweilige Griffloch 18. Die zweite Randpartie 46 weist dabei eine ebene Grifffläche 48 auf, an der eine Person beim Hochheben des Behälters 10 bequem angreifen kann. Die erste Randpartie 44 und die zweite Randpartie 46 sind an gebogenen seitlichen Abschnitten 50 miteinander unter Bildung des umlaufenden Rands 26 verbunden. Dabei ist zumindest einer der seitlichen Abschnitte 50 mit einem Schlitz 52 versehen, der sich bis zum Führungsprofil 38 erstreckt und der das seitliche Einschieben der mit den Fasern 42 versehenen Halteleiste 40 ermöglicht.Each of the carrier parts 24 has a guide profile 38 into which a retaining strip 40 formed as a C-profile can be inserted ( Fig. 3a to 3d ). In the retaining strip 40, the first ends of elastically flexible plastic fibers 42 are inserted adjacent to each other and fused by heat application to the retaining strip 40. The fibers 42 are thus adjacent to each other from a lower, mostly horizontally extending first edge portion 44 of the peripheral edge 26 to an upper, in a central portion to the first edge portion 44 parallel second edge portion 46 up and close the respective grip hole 18. The second edge portion 46 points In this case, a flat gripping surface 48, on which a person can easily attack when lifting the container 10. The first edge portion 44 and the second edge portion 46 are connected to each other at curved side portions 50 to form the peripheral edge 26. In this case, at least one of the lateral portions 50 is provided with a slot 52 which extends to the guide profile 38 and which allows the lateral insertion of the fibers 42 provided with the retaining strip 40.

Der Behälter 10 gemäß Fig. 1 weist zwei Trägerteile 24 auf, die erfindugnsgemäß mit den Fasern 42 versehen sind, so dass ein Eindringen von Staub oder Schmutz durch die jeweiligen Grifflöcher 18 zumindest erschwert wird. Die Fasern 42 sind dabei so angeordnet, dass sie weitestgehend aneinander anliegen, so dass sie das jeweilige Griffloch 18 im wesentlichen vollständig abdecken, wodurch eine gute Staubdichtigkeit erreicht wird. Die Fasern 42 weisen jeweils eine solche Länge auf, dass sie sich exakt von einer Randpartie 44 bis zur gegenüberliegenden Randpartie 46 nach oben erstrecken. Unter dem Gesichtspunkt der einfachen Herstellbarkeit kann es aber vorteilhaft sein, wenn die Fasern 42 etwas länger sind und dann mit ihren freien Enden 54 ein Stück weit in den Behälterinnenraum 14 hineinragen. Die anderen beiden Grifflöcher 18 des Behälters 10 gemäß Fig. 1 sind zwar mit Griffteilen 56 aus Kunststoff versehen, die aber nicht mit Fasern 42 ausgestattet sind. Dies dient lediglich der Veranschaulichung. Selbstverständlich wird bevorzugt, dass alle Grifflöcher 18 durch Fasern 42 möglichst staub- bzw. schmutzdicht verschlossen werden.The container 10 according to Fig. 1 has two carrier parts 24 which are provided according to the invention with the fibers 42, so that penetration of dust or dirt through the respective handle holes 18 is at least made more difficult. The fibers 42 are arranged so that they rest as far as possible against each other, so that they cover the respective handle hole 18 substantially completely, whereby a good dust tightness is achieved. The fibers 42 each have a length such that they extend exactly from one edge portion 44 to the opposite edge portion 46 upwards. From the point of view of ease of manufacture, however, it may be advantageous if the fibers 42 are slightly longer and then protrude a little way into the container interior 14 with their free ends 54. The other two handle holes 18 of the container 10 according to Fig. 1 are indeed with handle parts 56 provided of plastic, but which are not equipped with fibers 42. This is for illustrative purposes only. Of course, it is preferred that all handle holes 18 are closed as possible dust-proof or dirt-tight by fibers 42.

Zusammenfassend ist folgendes festzuhalten: Die Erfindung betrifft einen Behälter 10 mit einem Boden 12, mit sich vom Boden 12 aus erstreckenden, paarweise aneinander angrenzenden, einen Behälterinnenraum 14 rings umschließenden Wänden 16, wobei mindestens eine der Wände 16 ein Griffloch 18 aufweist, durch das eine Person durchgreifen und in das Behälterinnere 14 eingreifen kann. Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, dass an einer ersten Randpartie 44 des mindestens einen Grifflochs 18 eine Vielzahl von elastisch biegsamen, sich in Richtung zu einer der ersten Randpartie 44 gegenüberliegenden zweiten Randpartie 46 des Grifflochs 18 erstreckenden Fasern 42 angeordnet sind.In summary, the following should be noted: The invention relates to a container 10 having a bottom 12, extending from the bottom 12, in pairs adjacent, a container interior 14 enclosing walls 16, at least one of the walls 16 has a handle hole 18 through which a Person can reach through and engage in the container interior 14. According to the invention, a plurality of elastically flexible fibers 42 extending in the direction of one of the first edge part 44 opposite the second edge part 46 of the handle hole 18 are arranged on a first edge part 44 of the at least one grip hole 18.
